Which Oxford College would be best for Computer Science?

I'm considering applying for Computer Science at the University of Oxford. What college would you recommend for that?

Any college you like that does the course.
There is an article on the wiki about choosing a college, I found it very helpful, have a look at that :smile:

Just choose a college that you like the look of (and that does Computer Science). Whichever college you go to, you'll do the same work, go to the same lectures, have the same practicals; there's next to no difference between them.

You may want to apply to a college that's close to the CompSci buildings, but the vast majority of colleges are within a 5-15min walk of them so even that's not really a problem.

What i did was made a list of every college that offers CS (getting rid of more than half all the colleges straight away) and then wieghed up pros and cons for each college - i found the alternative prospectus was quite good for that. Then after narrowing down to just a few i read a fair bit about each and ended up applying to st hughs.

However that turned out to be a pointless exercise since i was pooled and am now going to St Catz =p .

Is, or more like was, St Catz a good experience. I am wishing to apply there for CS.
